>Could you please elaborate why you have "no choice" ? How exactly did Ukrainians threatened the Russian people in Ukraine so you agree on war ?

why war? I just support the right of people to take power in their hands and form their own state when their basic rights are violated or not protected by the current state they reside in. United States two centuries ago, colonial Africa 60-40 years ago, Kosovo, South Sudan,... Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine,... . If it were my decision Chechnya would be separate today.

>Wasn't a Yanukovych a pro-russian president ? Why not simply wait for an election as a democratic country ?

exactly. Yanukovich (while being complete trash, not that other politicians there are any better though) was democratically elected. What would be the point of new elections?
